Rabobank reprimanded for financing Tyson Foods
Several Dutch banks have been reprimanded by the Fair Bank Guide because they invest billions in companies that do not take animal welfare very seriously. For example, Rabobank is a major lender of 'animal-unfriendly' Tyson Foods.
A number of large Dutch banks (Rabobank, ING and ABN Amro) are said to have invested around €2012 billion between 2017 and 9 in companies that are said to be unfriendly to animals. This is apparent from research by the Fair Bank Guide, an organization that compares banks on various aspects (such as policy and sustainability). The organization says it is concerned that banks are not responsible for animal welfare.
Finance Tyson Foods
Rabobank (€6,8 billion) is one of Tyson Foods' most important lenders. This while the American meat company is in the news almost every year because of violating animal welfare. ABN Amro (€45 million) and ING (€44 million) are also investing in Tyson Foods, but these amounts are disproportionate to the investment from Rabobank.
